Bates-Hendricks meeting minutes, 2013-01-07

The Bates Hendricks Neighborhood Association met Monday, January 7, 2013. President Rob
Uppencamp welcomed everyone.
Capt. Greg Stanton was present from IMPD Southeast to report and answer any questions about
activities in the neighborhood. He reported that violent crime was down 9.6% in the Southeast
District.
Lisa Laflin, our Mayor’s Neighborhood Liaison was present to remind us of the recycling event taking
place on Saturday, January 12 at Garfield Park. She announced that The Great Indy Cleanup for our
area will be April 6. She reminded us that secondary streets are only plowed when there is more that
six inches at one time. If you have knowledge of a dangerous intersection call the Mayor’s Action
Center.
Kipp Normand from SEND was present to report changes taking place at SEND. He said SEND is in
a transition period with less funding than in previous years. SEND is trying to provide better quality
rentals. The recently completed Terrace “shotgun” houses and the East Street Flats, expected to be
completed in March, are examples. There is a Home Repair Program but it has a long list of people
requesting services.
Tom Webber from the Department of Code Enforcement was present to review the situation with
Euro Plastering on East Street. This property is zoned C-3, industrial. The property has been cited
with several violations. There is no set timeline for compliance.
Justin Moed and Dan Forestal, the two State Representatives from our area were present to update
us on what they have been doing. One thing they are trying to implement is rules and a registry for
landlords. They both have a great interest in abandoned housing.
Rob announced that the Building Blocks Program has received a grant from KIB.
Lydia Brasher was present to collect dues.
Rob announced that there would be an East Street Quality of Life meeting at the conclusion of the
regular meeting.
Respectfully submitted, Lydia Brasher
Mayor’s Neighborhood Liaison
